Green light for punters

THURLES, which has made a massive contribution to National Hunt racing over many years, again comes up with the goods this afternoon, housing eight races.

The Thurles Chase has an interesting appearance with Michael Hourigan pitching up-and-coming Kerryhead Windfarm in against some very experienced rivals.

The seven-year-old has been plagued by poor technique for much of his career, but did little wrong at Fairyhouse when scoring by an easy seven lengths from On The Net. That, however, was only his second ever race over fences and this is a big ask!
